The number of Israelis who see US President Barack Obama's policies as
pro-Israel has fallen to 4 percent, according to a Smith Research poll
taken this week on behalf of The Jerusalem Post.

Fifty-one percent of Jewish Israelis consider Obama's administration
more pro-Palestinian than pro-Israel, according to the survey, while
35% consider it neutral and 10% declined to express an opinion. The
poll of 500 people representing a statistical model of the Jewish
Israeli population had a margin of error of 4.5%.

A much-cited Post poll published on June 19 that put the first figure
at 6% had been cited by top officials in both the White House and the
Prime Minister's Office as the catalyst for recent American efforts to
improve the American-Israeli relationship. But the new poll proves that
those efforts have not improved Obama's reputation among Israelis.

Yeah. No fucking shit. Kinda tough believing in The Won when he has sided with thugs and dictators every time a foreign policy problem has erupted since he became President.
